Sicky Micky, and other things
Micky (my Mini Cooper S) spent the latter half of last week at the Mini Garage being fixed. He’d had an engine glitch that was just recurring every few days – the glitch would happen, and the car’s computer system would then cut the power to the engine to a very, very minimal level. It took the mechanics a couple of days to find the error, and then they thought they might have it ready last Friday. But they had to keep it over the weekend. Eventually on Tuesday arvo I got it back, all shiny and washed, and with the engine running a lot happier than it was before.
Other than not having my car for the first couple of days, this week has been pretty good.
Last Saturday night was great fun, having adventures into the city to watch GNW being filmed with Kate, Sam and Lachie. We got there early enough to enjoy some Hannah’s Pies in Ultimo, and then it only seemed to be a short wait in the line until we were inside. Afterwards, we made it over to St Ives’ Max Brenner for some dessert.
Work this week has also been pretty good. Felt a bit frustrated last week after getting a grilling from my manager. But I guess it was warranted – the sales are fairly low, and the sales opportunities were pretty non-existent. But it motivated me to really step up this week and start leading the account managers to get moving on doing their job a bit better. There’s so many chances out there to have conversations with customers about data networks and such… they just need to do it. In the end, the week went really well… felt like I made a lot of progress.
Looking forward to doing a lot of nothing tonight. Might have a chance to chance to catch up on the V8s from earlier today, but otherwise, just sitting and watching a movie with Debbie will be tops too.
